Email (qmail, Sendmail) Problem - Not Sending
Jul 31, 2009
I am having problem with qmail. I have forum and users are not getting emails send via forum.
I don't care about receiving e-mails and I never do. All I want is for outgoing mail server to be working.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot? Also, I think qmail came as a default (preinstalled) on my server. Is there some other program I should rather use for my purposes? (Again, all I need is *outgoing* mail server). I am using CentOS.
Here is output of 'ps aux' command, related to mail services ....

Are there any VPS providers with verifiable expertise in either qmail or sendmail?
Acceptable demonstration of expertise would include at least one long-term employee with one or more of: citation in respected MTA related reference book
useful tech posts to any related email list/forum/whatever

I have few cpanel server, but I have got a question. When mails send using script, does it use exim or sendmail? Are these different? From my understanding exim uses sendmail as MTA, am I right?

I am switching servers, and the new one uses QMAIL. It was easy to move existing emails between servers when both used sendmail, however ....
Is there a conversion tool or proceedure? I searched but was unable to locate anything online.
QMAIL is not a replacement on an existing server, it is installed on a new server (working fine) and I must bring existing sendmail data over.

I have a weird Issue with my Qmail program. It happened when I separated webmaster@domain, postmaster@domain, and admin@domain into separate e-mail accounts, instead of having them as aliases of each other. Now the standard server and anti-virus automated e-mails all get bounced, and the bounce messages are overwhelming my admin account.
Also randomly some important messages from approved senders also get bounced and end up in there, but with the sheer quantity of messages (100s per day) I have no way of going through and filtering them out. All spam get's failure notice's, but that's how it should be.
I'm a web designer, not a webmaster, but I ended up in charge of this and can't figure out how to fix it. Some insight into the possible cause would be much appreciated.
Here's a sample e-mail:
Quote:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at domain.com.
I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced!
<anonymous@domain.com>:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at deltascanlaboratories.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.

I've just moved over to a VPS package with startlogic and am running into a problem with having mail sent from my new server. Basically, mail is backing up in the mail queue and is failing to be sent, but then after a long time (a few days) it, or at least some of it, will suddenly be sent successfully for no apparent reason.
In the meantime the mail is backing up in the mail queue. Looking at the qmail logs I'm seeing lots of "Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection" type of errors, and occasional "Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_named_localhost.localdomain" errors (though the SMTP ones are far more common place).
I've gone through the plesk/virtuozzo mail server options and they seem fine, and it does send some mail through, just very sporadically and up to about 5 days late.

Anyone know how to fix this? I put it as plain as possible. I've reinstalled qmail once to see if I can get it to send/receive but it is still not working. I made sure the port is not blocked either.

I migrated a client from a Windows server to Linux and everything is fine except that mail sent to this client (say, example1.com) from a particular domain (say, example2.com) simply disappears and does not reach at all. Mail sent to that other domain (example2.com) from my new client (example1.com) is delivered correctly.
Incidentally, that other domain (example2.com) from which the mail is sent is with the hosting provider who was earlier providing services for my newly acquired client. Should I suspect anything? Or, is there a way to figure out what's happening?
I have MailScanner running on my VPS, but it isn't configured to filter at RBL level, only at Exim level, so I don't think this is the issue.

i have 2 options to configure my email marketing script - using smtp or mail().
we used to send all our email marketing from outlook, with decent results, and not many bounces.
we tested a new script that used our sendmail on our server, now we're finding people aren't the mail a day or so later, or some aren't getting it at all. we seem to be getting a lot of bounces too...
anyway, im starting a new site from scratch, and im just wondering which is the best method for sending out email marketing campaigns.

Which type of email sending has a greater degree of deliverability.
1. PhpMail Function
2. SendMail
3. SMTP with or without authentication
I do not understand the differences between these.

suppose my domain is mydomain.com, my sendmail may send email to any domain name except local domain, say, sendmail may send email to hotmail, yahoo or any other domain name, but when send email to emailbox under mydomain.com, sendmail log will say domain not found.
My situation is my server does not have DNS service, my DNS service is outsourced, and MX record also is outsourced.

I have server running Plesk 8.6 with Qmail. Recently some users complain that when they send email out they received undelivered email from Qmail (plesk) with lots of unknown address. Users are concerned about that mail server is sending out mail that they did not send it to. I have attached one of the typical example that user got.
I have changed domain name and ip address for dummy address. I have no clue that the server automatically append those junk email address to the senders email or the client application did it without user's consent.

I have a server(godaddy) with plesk. It was all working well till 8 - 10 days ago. I didnt notice it one week later where I started receiving a lot of failed mail notices. Then on investigation, there were more then 50K spam mails in the mail queue and the mails that were supposed to be sent(registration, forgot password) were also held up in the queue. I found the source of the spam and fixed that.
Also I cleared the mail-queue. Now when I try to send out a test message, it still gets held up in the mail queue. But I can send a test mail to the same domain (info@mydomain.com). All new user registration mails are also held up and this is greatly affecting the site.

I was looking at my qmail queue using qmHandle and noticed that one of the emails sitting in the queue was simply there because of a blatant typo in the email address.
Therefore, I went to the appropriate file in
/var/qmail/queue/mess/*/*
and edited the file to reflect the new email address.
Does this work at all, or should the user resend the email? I naturally don't want to look at email that isn't intended for me (which is why qmHandle is a useful tool -- because only headers are available) nor do I want someone to know that I know their email is sitting in the queue (because they might assume that I *am* reading their email even though I'm not!)
I tried qmHandle -a to no avail; the email address has been edited as per my changes, but the email is still just sitting there.

I've managed to setup my cPanel box to allowed connections to port 995 for receiving POP email over an SSL connection.
However, I can't get sending to work.
My setup:
RHEL 4
cPanel 10.9.0 Stable
APF firewall
I allow outbound ports 25 and 26.
I'm not sure where to put them in APF to allow this.
Also - it won't work with the firewall off either.
This is the error I receive in OE:
Quote:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.EDITED.com', Server: 'mail.EDITED.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 26, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

I am looking at a VPS purely to outsource email sending to.
I curently use a cloud system - which is great - but they limit my email sending.
I need to send 25,000 a day and 10,000 during a one hour period.
Will any VPS allow this? Who?
Is this recommended.

I purchased a shared hosting with these guys. I transfer domain / Set up email accounts, ect. Everything is working flawlessly.
So, yesterday my boss was riding my ass because he said he couldn’t send email. I went over to his house, and he was right it wouldn’t send (his client is entourage). I verifier’s smtp settings, and it just wouldn’t send. I found the problem to be his SBC.
Of course he doesn’t believe that (still thinks the mailserver is the issue).
So to draw this to a close. is there any way to verify that an email is being sent.. such as a receipt that the 'message has been sent'? He's using entourage on the mac.
Also, what is you're normal procedure to troubleshoot smtp/pop issues?

A few days ago Outlook Express refused to continue sending emails using my hosted account. It has been working fine for over three years now. I changed the software and used Thunderbird but it failed two. They just say that the mail server took much time and I should check the SMTP server. I even tried that from several computers and several connections. The response from the host is too slow (dislike their usual).

I'm hosting with CoreNetworks (very happy with them) on a Windows platform. One of my clients has a 500-person email list. When they try to send using Outlook, the get the following error:Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded:? 1 Too many bad commands, closing transmission channel'
They didn't have any problems with sending from the list before, when I was in a shared platform with AIT. Ideas as to what the issue could be? I've done some research but can't seem to figure it out.

however, if I set my server as the outgoing server, they are unable to send emails.

I am trying to send an email from a php script on a Webfusion VPS.
$to = "me@atmydomain.co.uk";
$subject = "Test subject";
$msg = "Test message";
$headers = "From: you@atyourdomain.co.uk
Reply-To: you@atyourdomain.co.uk";
if(mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers)){
echo "Sent";
}
else{
echo "Error!";
}
The page displays "Sent", but I don't receive the email.
Is there a setting that I should me making in either the script or via Plesk or elsewhere to enable the emails to be sent?
I phoned Webfusion support, but they claim they only support hardware. Webfusion's help pages just say:
I'm setting up a formmail script on my Linux VPS server? what is the path to sendmail?
The path is: $mailprog = '/var/qmail/bin/sendmail -i -t';
But it doesn't explain where to put this line of code. And if it should go in the php.ini file how do I get to that?
